I agree, i've had not insignificant amount of delivered then show up three days later packages with USPS over the past 5 or so years. Mostly business deliveries, but i've had a few I had to report as lost to the shipper. In a couple instances we've had things show up two months or so later found. Which I suppose happens, but I've only had one UPS package lost in the same time frame and none for fedex.

At my house we have a communal mailbox bank (which seems to be normal now for most new construction). I would bet that 1/4 packages of mine are delivered to the wrong box / placed in the wrong box. So some of it now can at least be attributed to those mistakes.
